The one with the biggest chance to beat Jones is Jones. If he lets the belt/hype go to his head and pulls a Anderson any of them can be beat him. It's a very hard thing to bring your A game over and over when your on top to many side distractions.

Has history shown otherwise? No? Cool, glad we were able to figure that out as a team.

...Yeah, because you aren't biased or anything. Glover has as many consecutive wins as Jones has fights, and 18 of his 21 wins have been stoppages. I get that you're very fond of hugging Jon Jones' nuts and all but he's not invincible, and he's never faced a guy like Teixeira.

The first two rounds or so of a Jones/Teixeira fight would be rough for Jones IMO, because Tex will definitely look to touch up his chin, and range can only work so long if Glover choses to wade in. Glover's standup will be patient and search for openings and I'm not too sure if Jones wants to risk going to the ground with Glover, who has great grappling and quicksand submissions. Jones has the cardio edge and alot of size on Glover, but I always get the feeling that the complexion of a Jones fight will change drastically once he gets seriously cracked, which so far, he hasn't really been. Glover has the ability to touch his chin and potentially change the game.

5 former champions and 2 (maybe 3) hall of fame-worthy fighters in the lot.

SimpleJack took the words out of my mouth. I get it though - wins over Kingsbury, Maldonado, old man Rampage and James Te Huna screams Jon Jones worthy right? *Sarcasm*

The fact that you even made the statement of "and hes never faced a guy like Teixeira" is just laughable. Its the other way around - he (Teixeira) has never faught a guy like Jones - not even close, the two arent even in the same universe.

FE is right, Jones has never faced a guy like Teixeira. Glover will be the most decorated BJJ guy Jones will have faced. Jones has never fought against an opponenst with a 2nd degree black belt in BJJ.
